Every year, I like to begin with a word or phrase to reflect on through the year to keep me motivated, encouraged and focused. This year, my phrase for 2023 is “Go the Distance!” When we go the distance, we avoid looking back. We avoid saying things like “I’m too old” or “there’s not enough time”. We also come to the realization that great things do not happen overnight….great things take time and effort.

Starting in January, I am going the distance and starting to work towards becoming a Balanced Body Educator/Master Trainer. It is not easy and takes many hours and years of classes and expertise, but I’m ready.

My first step is to go through Balanced Body’s “bridge” training. Bridge training will take the education, certifications and experience I currently have and combine them with the Balanced Body model. The Bridge training will not only increase my level of expertise, but it will give me the tools I need to stay up to date with all things Pilates.

So, with that said, I am going the distance with my education to create a stronger future for me personally and for Pure Joy PIlates. Friends, I have a lot of work to do! Many hours of training and the cost to get there is no small feat. But, in the end, I know it will give me the tools necessary to give my clients the best experience at Pure Joy Pilates.
